Home Office taking...

[vetran]

Quite. Much of the article is meaningless really, just a few cases quoted with very little information and some of those look rather dubious. A guy was really taken to a removal centre because his landlord attacked him? I suspect there is rather more to it. And "clear mental health problems" could mean anything from depression to dangerous psychosis.

Whatever side we are on, maybe we should not draw conclusions without a lot more information.

well said, maybe someone should tell the Granuiad?

the custodian sentence for driving is the only one you could easily argue the paper gave enough info on why he should be removed

If British people were being removed from other EU countries and the Commission ignored the complaints, the Daily Express would be outraged.

Only if they had a blonde haired blue eyed middle class British woman under 45 to use as one of their victims. Everyone else can go feck themselves.

Plus he is a Swedish national and we tend to be less prejudice against Nordic nationals that those from the former Eastern bloc.

Oddly no complaints about us removing Romanian nationals from a certain cultural background.

Yeah Baby

To be fair UK judges tend to refer upwards when they aren't sure and think we need clarification so it isn't surprising we lose.

Driving offences may not be minor and, if there was a custodial sentence, they clearly weren't in the case quoted.

Is there a court case ?

In any case that is not a very representative statistic as it only represents the cases brought to a full hearing. Most cases don't get that far, and the UK wins almost all cases that are brought to the preliminary hearings.



The Express printing their anti-EU propaganda again. All of it total tripe.

Bit of an SE cocky upy there.

Done while on my phone.

Need to give The Guardian Cambridge boys feed back about not being able to share links.

They haven't taken any decisions yet so all these remonstrations are purely hypothetical. Classic anti-EU propaganda, make stuff up about what they might theoretically do, but don't actually do.

Britain loses three of four cases taken to European Court of Justice | UK | News | Express.co.uk

Research by the Vote Leave referendum campaign group found that the UK has been defeated in 101 out of 131 legal actions taken to the European Court of Justice over the last 40 years.*
Rulings against the UK Government included prolonging a ban on world-wide export of British beef and scrapping a cut in beer duty.*
The failure rate of 77.1 per cent for Britain in the Luxembourg-based court was last night being seen as fresh evidence of the urgent need for country to quit the EU.*

36 weeks at her majesties pleasure suggests they were pretty serious.

I thought the EU & remainers said we had a right to decide who stayed in our country? Leaving was unnecessary.

Taking back control Brussels stylie?

the p*ss.

Under directive 2004/38/EC you are allowed to deport other European nationals for not being able to support themselves, being a threat to national security or public policy but that doesn't include for doing SFA, being mentally ill or being a victim of crime.
